I have a standard 90 with a center brace. I have been using 2 reef radiance led for years. I have not been impressed. Blue all the way up white at minimum. Just not a good look. I am thinking was thinking of perhaps 3 fixtures but I am unsure of the shadowing that would be caused by the center brace . My local fish guy seems to think (2) of the 26HD. I have not been sold on this perhaps 3 or many 2 of the 52s. The other option is Kessil 360x was thinking 3 and T5 to supplement . That dang center brace screws this up . I am to the point where I may sell the dang tank a get another. Any thoughts or opinions on weather the center brace will cause issues with shadowing.
Thanks in Advance
 
Im going to follow you on this. I am in the same position but with a 180. I think that some of the shadowing can be overcome by raising the height of the light if possible. My LFS said 3 of the 26 HD's should be fine on my tank but really dont know. I am using 4 chinese bb's and not impressed either. Should have spent the bucks up front the first time!
